Speech samples were collected on 20 Danish schizophrenic adoptees, along with 26 control adoptees and their respective biological and adoptive relatives.

A prospective study using two standardized psychological tests, the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), was conducted in an effort to quantify the emotional changes experienced by internal medicine house staff members during the internship.

Comparison of 17 different scores, obtained with the Gottschalk-Gleser content analysis scales, with norms for White and Black children has now been made easily possible by the development of two types of profile forms. The scores derived by this method are transformed by plotting them, on a grid, to standard scores. Form 1 provides a nonlinear tra...
Scores on 17 psychological dimensions of the Gottschalk-Gleser content analysis scales were obtained from 5-minute speech samples of 37 white children hospitalized on the psychiatric service of a general hospital.

One of the mental problems that has destroyed countries, destroyed lives on an individual and massive scale "greed" has been one of them. What is the profile of "greed", the symptoms. Is it related to other mental illness, ie anxiety or related to hording or even paranoia. I think these questions are important today and meaningful for psychology to address. We have V codes for problems with parents or siblings. Maybe we should be adding problems with greed.
The initial principles of behaviorism has had to make some serious changes over time, yet has it really changed? Could that be reason for concern that psychology wants to become more 'scientific' and lean towards the medical model when there has been evidence that this direction would cut psychology off from what should be their rightful domain, the mind and not the brain. That direction in research would benefit from new models and paradigms of how to understand human problems, yet are dismissed because of the behavioral model. Behaviorism is an easy model. Has psychology slowly constricted itself into a narrow way of looking at human problems?
